5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but worth it, February 20, 2010

This review is from: Pureology Hydrate Shampoo 10.1 oz and Hydrate Condition 8.5 oz duo (Misc.)

I started going gray when I was about 24, and have been getting my hair colored for almost ten years. During that time, I've tried all sorts of shampoos and conditioners -- both drugstore brands and higher-end ones -- and yet nothing compares to Pureology.

I've never spent this much on a shampoo and conditioner until I started using Pureology Hydrate, but this combo really does work to leave your hair silky soft and to keep the color vivid and vibrant. The way I justify the cost is that I honestly can go much longer between color appointments at the salon. I used to have to get my highlights and overall color done every eight weeks since it would really fade when I used other products, but now my stylist only has to do root touch-ups (to hide the grays) when I go in -- and I can go every two appointments for my color.

Don't expect a lot of lather when you use the shampoo; it doesn't create a lot of suds, but it's still doing its job. I also love the mint smell of the conditioner; it provides a nice tingle on your scalp when you use it.

The other big plus is that this really does make your hair feel healthy and soft. I use a flat iron almost every day (really, really bad -- I know!), but, since I've started using this, my hair doesn't have the split ends and damage that it used to. It feels soft and looks shiny. I also use CHI Silk Infusion before blowing my hair dry, and the combo has made my hair look the best that it ever has.

I wanted to try the "straight" versions of Pureology's shampoo and conditioner, but have read reviews that say that they don't make your hair as healthy as the Hydrate versions do, so I'm sticking to these. I have other friends who also use this product, and who also say that nothing else compares to it for keeping your color bright and vivid.

As another tip, my stylist recommends that you wait 48 hours before washing your hair after getting it colored so that the color has time to set. She mentioned that this is especially important if you have lowlights so that the darker color can oxidize with your hair. Rinsing is OK, just no shampoo.

It's expensive, but worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Natural Sulfate Free Choice, June 28, 2011

By

This review is from: Pureology Hydrate Shampoo 10.1 oz and Hydrate Condition 8.5 oz duo (Misc.)

I've gone through various phases of my hair care, from short, long, highlighted, natural, but most often limited heat damage. I use a flat iron occasionally, don't own a blow dryer, and let my hair dry naturally. I have medium thick naturally dark brown. I have extremely sensitive skin, and am very sensitive to smell (new Pantene is just too strong). With that said, I have tried the Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner, the S-Factor color savvy shampoo and conditioner, as well as the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner. Here is my result of these:

The s-factor products are the more inexpensive of the 3 sulfate-free options I've tried. They smell very fun and fruity, kind of like grape candy or skittles. The shampoo has good lather, and my hair felt de-tangled without needing a de-tangler when brushing wet. I feel of the three, however, these were the least hydrating, as after using for a few months, my hair did not feel as soft as when I had switched to using the s-factor product.

I think for me, it's a toss up between the Pureology hydrate and the MoroccanOil brand shampoo and conditioner sets. Since I live in Hawaii, previously lived in Oregon, the smell of the MoroccanOil seems more beachy, a little more like suntan lotion's fragrance, however, I also love the lavender/orange sent of the Pureology as well. It is very earthy and natural, and the minty smell and refreshing minty feel of the of the Pureology Conditioner is also very nice on the scalp, which is a feeling lacking with the MoroccanOil.

In short, I don't think there is too much difference in the shampoos other than the preference of fragrance and price, but to rank the conditioners as most conditioning to least conditioning: MorroccanOil, Purology Hydrate, S-Factor Color Savvy.

Hope this helps -

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, April 26, 2011

This review is from: Pureology Hydrate Shampoo 10.1 oz and Hydrate Condition 8.5 oz duo (Misc.)

The shampoo seemed half empty and I didn't like that there were no seals on either bottle. The smell was also not as strong as I remember from using these in the past, but not sure if the formula changed or there is something suspicious going on with the seller... probably wouldn't buy again I will get from a salon or Ulta next time.
